That isn't actually homerism. Homerism, to me, is like something that is almost unrealistic.

For ex. "Jordan Jefferson becoming the best QB in the SEC."

But in your case, I really don't see defenses successfully stoping both Tate and Floyd at the same time. Jimmy Clausen is making strides and didn't have a terrible season last year, which is something to build off of. The Irish O-Line looks really improved since last year with Sam Young leading the way. I really can't talk about the DBs or Ethan Johnson. One more I would add is Manti Te'o

cheers and i agree, i was thinking about putting but they stuck @ #6, it would read Te'o, Brian Smith and Steve Filer actually making us fast on defense.
But i didnt mean it was unrealistic but I meant the focus was on ND, I already posted something here not concerning ND.
I'll do my top 5 non-ND (keep in mind i dont want them to do it against ND)
5 Greg Hardy showing he is the best DEnd in the country
4 A brilliant three way Heisman race
3 Colin Kaepernick playing like a vince young reincarnation
2 The ACC remaining a close race till the final minute of the final game
1 Jake Locker getting back on top (but I already told you about that one)

1. Mason Foster winning Pac-10 DPOY
2. BYU giving Oklahoma a Scare
3. Roy Helu amassing 1000 yards
4. Matt Asiata establishing himself as a top back.
5. Harvey Unga keeping his place as the beat MWC RB.
6. TCU, Utah, and BYU showing the college football world how we do it in the Mountain West!
7. San Jost St. Scoring at least twice on USC.. maybe?
8. All the MAC QBs.
9. How LSU responds from a down year.
10. McKay Jacobsen picking up where Collie left off.
